Stargazing at Valley of Rocks with Moor Wild Experiences

Stargazing at Valley of Rocks with Moor Wild Experiences

Wednesday 25th October 2023 from 19:00pm to 20:30pm

Valley of Rocks Car Park - Lynton
Lynton, Exmoor, Devon, EX35 6JL

Join Liz and Gary from Moor Wild Experiences to spot planets, star cluster, nebulae and distant galaxies through professional telescopes and binoculars.

Your meeting location will be the Upper car park at the Valley of Rocks (next to the toilets). Cross the road to the Cricket Pitch Triangular area (through a wooden gate).

Dress warmly, as spotting night-time objects can be a labour of love whilst we let everyone have a turn at looking through the telescopes. So bring a warm flask and someone to share the great joy with!

This event occurs during the Exmoor Dark Skies Festival 2023.

Please note that this has already taken place on 25/10/2023

Event darkness

The Moon has a big impact on the visibility of celestial bodies in the night sky. Try to plan your stargazing when there is no bright Moon at night as this is when the skies will be at their darkest.

The below chart shows if and when the skies will be at their darkest during this event. Moonlight is shown in light yellow and the Sun's twilight in light blue. Midnight on the date shown is shown as a white line with sunset to the left and sunrise the next morning to the right. A black background with stars shows the best times for stargazing.
